Bone Swans, a collection of stories Publisher’s Weekly called in a starred review, “brilliantly executed…a delicious stew of science fiction, horror, and fantasy, marked by unforgettable characters who plumb the depths of pathos and triumph,” and endorsed in an another starred review from Library Journal as, “five beautifully crafted stories…imaginary worlds full of flying carpets, fairy-tale characters, and children confronted with a postapocalyptic Earth…”

“Bone Swans: STORIES AROUND THE FIRE”
Gather around the fire for fantastical tales. The Bill Memorial Library invites you to join us for Stories Around the Fire on Thursday, October 8, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
